The sunny day had given way to misty rain so it was time to go back home. Heading back to the car I noticed this hardenbergia vine twining across the path, spring is about to explode in the forest. But first, we're going on a Sweet Wayfaring adventure by the sea ... see you over there.

We're in the lower mountains where the temperature is warmer. It's interesting to compare the type of forest here to say here or here which are upper mountains tracks. We followed the track a long way but the quality began to deteriorate and not knowing if the destination was worth it, we decided to back off.

One reason the gates are locked is to keep people away from the drinking water catchments.

One track looked more promising, the map said there was a lookout at the end, 8 kms away. We bumped along the track for a couple of kilometres only to find another locked gate, and a sign saying the lookout was 6.2kms on foot. Forget that, it would wear out my boots!
